Somatic Coaching for Nervous System Regulation

Trauma informed, body based coaching in Okotoks and online

If your body feels tense, overwhelmed, or shut down even when life looks fine, your nervous system may still be working to keep you safe.

Somatic Coaching supports regulation, capacity, and reconnection by working with the body, not by forcing change.

Why Somatic Coaching Works

Somatic Coaching is rooted in the understanding that the body and mind are not separate systems. They are constantly in conversation. Your thoughts shape your physiology, and your physiology shapes how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you.

Every lived experience leaves an imprint. Stress, overwhelm, safety, joy, and connection are all reflected in how you breathe, how you hold yourself, and how you move through your environment. Over time, these patterns become automatic, even when they no longer serve you.

Rather than working only through insight or conversation, somatic coaching works directly with the body as an entry point for change. Through gentle awareness, movement, and nervous system regulation, the body becomes a gateway to your inner world. This is where lasting shifts occur, not by forcing change, but by creating new experiences of safety, capacity, and choice.

Conscious breathing plays a key role in this process. Breath is one of the few tools that allows direct access to the autonomic nervous system. With the right guidance, breathing practices can support regulation, ease tension, and restore a sense of steadiness and well being.

Somatic Coaching also draws on the brain’s natural ability to adapt and rewire. As new sensations, movements, and responses are practiced, new neural pathways are formed. Over time, this supports more flexible thinking, healthier reactions, and greater emotional resilience.

By integrating body and mind, this approach helps restore a sense of internal consistency and wholeness. You learn to listen to the signals of your body, build somatic intelligence, and respond to life with more clarity and confidence.

This work has wide reaching applications, from stress management and burnout recovery to athletic performance, creativity, and leadership. At its core, somatic coaching honors the body as a source of wisdom. One that can guide you toward greater authenticity, vitality, and self trust.

Somatic Coaching Session

In studio somatic work supports your nervous system in releasing stress patterns and returning to a more steady grounded state. Sessions are one on one and guided slowly so your body has time to respond rather than push or perform. We use awareness breath grounding and gentle tracking to help your system shift out of survival response and into regulation.

This session may be a good fit if you experience:

• ongoing stress or overwhelm
• anxiety or restless body states
• emotional heaviness or shutdown
• tension with no clear cause
• trouble relaxing or feeling safe in your body

Together we explore how your system has been protecting you what helps it soften and how to build capacity for steadiness over time. The goal is not to force a breakthrough. The work is gradual supportive and paced in a way that feels manageable and real.

This is body based nervous system support not psychotherapy. It is grounded trauma informed care that helps you reconnect with your body release held patterns and cultivate internal stability from the inside out.

Online Coaching Session

Online 1 on 1 sessions are a flexible and effective option for anyone outside the Okotoks area or for those who prefer to work from home. Somatic nervous system work translates extremely well online, and many clients find they can settle even more easily in their own space. All you need is a quiet area, a device, and a bit of privacy.

Online sessions are a great choice if you:
• live outside Okotoks, High River, or Calgary
• prefer a more affordable, accessible option
• feel safer or more comfortable in your own environment
• want the convenience of consistent weekly sessions without travel
• appreciate arriving exactly as you are — cozy clothes, blanket, tea and all

The work remains the same: grounding, awareness, somatic tracking, regulation practices and body-based support that help you shift out of stress and into steadier patterns. Online or in-studio, the impact is equally meaningful.

Client Testimonials.

  • Malissa S.

    I believe healers find us exactly when we need them, guided by divine timing, arriving in those moments when our soul is quietly (or, in my case, desperately) crying out for help. Caitie is that help. She’s here, right now, for you.

    If you’ve found yourself on this page, reading this review, it isn’t by accident. Something within you already knows…you’re being guided, nudged, called. This is your sign. Do this for yourself.

    I will forever cherish and carry the wisdom Caitie has shared with me through her somatic therapy sessions. For years, I couldn’t understand why traditional talk therapy never brought me the deep healing I longed for… but now I know…somatic work is the key. It’s where the answers live, deep in the body, in the places words can’t always reach. Forever Grateful.

  • Meagan A.

    Caitlin is an incredible healing practitioner. She is real, authentic, and creates a truly safe space for her clients. She has a remarkable ability to connect with you, making you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I have tried many therapies and modalities over the years, but nothing has compared to the life changing work I’ve experienced with Caitlin. Each appointment brings new insights, and I am consistently amazed at how much my body softens and releases.

    If you’ve tried countless approaches or traditional talk therapy but still feel stuck, this is exactly the alternative you need. Even if you dislike talk therapy, Caitlin offers an approach that meets you where you are. Healing can’t happen in a dysregulated state, and Caitlin not only helps you regulate but also teaches practical tools for navigating daily stress.

    A small example: I’ve dealt with chronic pain and persistent gallbladder symptoms for three years, trying everything from supplements to scans and alternative therapies. After just one session working in this area with Caitlin, I’ve experienced three weeks with zero gallbladder symptoms—something no other method achieved.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Caitlin to anyone seeking true transformation and compassionate support. She has changed my life, and I recommend her to everyone I know.

  • Chyanne S.

    I just had my first session with Caitie, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Caitie creates such a comfortable and safe environment that you can truly relax and focus on connecting your body to your emotions. With her perfect balance of gentle guidance and breath work, she helps you create the space and time needed to identify, remember, feel, and connect with your experiences. This process can often be terrifying, but Caitie's support and validation make you feel like you're not facing it alone. Her passion and knowledge in the field are evident in everything she does, from preparation to the session itself and even afterward. You couldn't be in better hands to begin your healing journey.

  • Brittany T.

We can’t wait for more sessions with her!

    I did my first session with Caitie today. She’s welcoming, warm, holds a genuine safe space, navigates her sessions with empathy, and truly listens to what you need specifically. I highly recommend booking with her.

  • Katie E.

    I just had my first session with Caitie, and it was exactly what I've been searching for. She made me feel comfortable, confident and capable. As a mom and small business owner, I needed somatic yoga in my life to help calm my mind and truly find the rest and re-set that I've desperately been looking for. this was an experience I look forward to having again!

  • Aimee E.

    This was an amazing somatic yoga session. Caitlin weaves movement, mindfulness and breathing techniques in the session and it is very healing, calming and safe. The class was very relaxing, moving, easy to understand and follow and was the highlight of my week. I can't wait to do another class!

  • Laura L.

    My private session was one of the best investments I’ve made this year. Caitie’s encouraging words, comforting touch and immense compassion are still with me even a week later. Her guided breath work and the restorative deep poses helped me to ground and let go. I cannot wait to book in again!
